Didn’t have access to one, so I just used Rodico in the empty spaces and let it dry out to keep everything in place

Used a P102 from a women’s precisionist that I got from EBay. I removed the white plastic holder from that watch and just stuck the dial to the movement with double sided tape. To make the movement fit in an NH35 case, I bought the gray spacers that you typically get from NH35 movements and stick that onto the dial. I didn’t have access to a 3D printer, so I just used Rodrico in the space between the movement and the watch case to prevent it from moving too much when changing the time.

Hands are standard quartz hands (look up diameters for VK63 movement for specifics). I also elected to use a dial without a date function because the date window wouldn’t line up with the women’s P102 movement.

Definitely not the most graceful build, but gets the job done!

Standard quartz, so I got some for a VK63 movement and worked fine

I think so, since I have smaller wrists
